This may be what is referred to in legalese as a "no duh" ruling:
Apes aren't us.
In a blow for animal lovers and simian-rights advocates, a five-member state judicial panel unanimously ruled on Thursday that a chimpanzee could not be considered a "legal person" and thus sue for his freedom.
A "blow for animal lovers"? Slow down there, Walt Winchell! I love our dog, and I appreciate the birds and other critters out in the backyard, but that's a long way from wanting them protected by the Bill of Rights.
This case has a darker side than is apparent on first read. Applying the concept of "personhood" to non-humans on the basis of a minimum level of cognition is the first step to creating another category of living being — non-person humans.

Wow! Okay, Google, Good Game (GG!) on listening to it's users. On the heals of YouTube's CEO visiting VidCon and participating directly in discussion with content creators, I can only assume this was the nail in the coffin, so to speak. Very proud of you Google. Hear from day 1 until infinite and beyond. Also, I believe a huge shoutout goes to Ryan Fwiz Wyatt for his efforts in taking the creator's issues to the decision makers desks. Keep on, keeping on folks! Can't wait to see what you roll out next.
Share the joy

…..So he had Steve Gibson Auto Body remove the emblems and door handles, but leave the signature portholes and side spears (which, along with the bumpers, were replated by Paul's Chrome). The shop also frenched in a quartet of '59 Cadillac taillights in the original locations before Steve Kallam loaded up his paint gun with Sikkens Ferrari Red urethane. When complemented with Boyd Coddington 17- and 18-inch wheels and meaty Michelin 225/50R17 and 255/55R18 rubber, the bright red hue helped create the tough, hot rod look Frank was after.
Frank changed things up a bit more in the Buick's cabin. "The rear seat frame and metal dash (with modifications) are all that remain from the original interior," Frank says. In between, he installed '99 Acura bucket seats straddling a 2003 Buick Park Avenue console, and had Ray Hester wrap the seats and side panels in beige leather. Meanwhile, Mike Warwick wired the dashboard before it was fitted with custom aluminum panels, Classic Instruments gauges, an Aiwa stereo, and controls for the Vintage Air system. Finishing touches came in the form of an ididit tilt column, Billet Specialties wheel, and Juliano's seatbelts.
The end result of Frank's two-year effort is a very special Buick that's a little bit custom, a little bit hot rod, and very cool all over. It's a well-rounded cruiser that's built to use and enjoy. "This car is driven–no trailer queen here," Frank says. "I believe what I like most about this car [is] it's just fun to drive. To me, that's where the payoff is."

So Im always going on about taking pictures of the ones you love. How important it is to capture all the good times you spend together because you never know whats going to happen.
As I was growing up my mum was on hand at every poignent moment, every specially occasion and every not so special occasion, with a camera and a smile to capture all our lives delt us and everything we did.
She would snap away and document everything, then wait patiently for the film to be developed before sticking the prints into albums with little notes and reminders, to help her remember what she had done and where we have been. Album number one contains all her pictures from her school days, friends and family from back then and is annotated in exactly the same way as her albums today. I think her latest album numbers somewhere close to 300, and at the moment mainly contains pictures of her lovely new grandchildren and the recent months she has spent watching them grow.
At every gathering friends and family would come over and, without fail, at some point in the evening an album would be pulled off the shelf and gathered round so we could all remember what fun times we had last time we got together.
This project is a document of my mums life but doesnt often contain pics of my mum. So Ive taken it upon myself to make sure she gets in as many pictures as she takes! They dont always make it to the album, but atleast she exists in images and has a document that she was there not only through the pictures she takes!
I recently got my grandma and mum together so I could have a play with some new techniques and take some pictures of the two most influential women in my life.
So let me introduce my Nana, she is feisty and spirited, and the font of all knowledge when to comes to dress making, Yiddish swear words and has a wicked and dirty sense of humour. My Mum can tell you anything you need to know about cross stitch, traditional jewish cooking, can fix any ailment with a magic kiss and has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met.
Together these ladies have educated our family about the importance of being strong, independent, loving, giving and kind.
They are both beautiful people and I love them lots x

They recognise and pay tribute to businesses who have engaged with the arts – be it through Marketing, CSI, BBBEE, HR or Shared Value. The event sees around 350 guests – businesses, members of government and arts organisations attending, and the key note address is made by the Minister of Arts and Culture. It is considered an important calendar event by business, as it supports those who champion the arts, understanding the value of the arts in society.

Allan Martini was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 11, 1928, where he attended Minneapolis public schools. Martini served in the military and followed this with attendance at the University of Minnesota, where he received his degree in Geological Engineering in 1951. After his studies, Martini began work as an exploration geologist with the California Company, a firm which would serve as a stepping stone to the formation of Chevron. His work in the field began in Casper, Wyoming, and over the course of the next 17 years he participated in exploration assignments in the Rocky Mountains / Williston Basin, the Louisiana Gulf Coast, and in California.
After his explorations in these areas, Martini became the Vice President of Exploration at another Chevron precursor, Western Operations Inc. In 1980 Martini became the president of Chevron Overseas Petroleum Inc., responsible for the exploration and production operations in foreign locales not including Canada, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. Allan would rise to become vice president of Chevron USA, a position he held from 1984 to 1986. After his presidency he was elected as a director of the Chevron Corporation, gaining responsibility for the company's global exploration and production. He would retire from the company in 1988.
Allan Martini married in 1951 and has four children with his wife, Eleanor. He resides in Tiburon, California (near San Francisco) where his principal hobby is flying.
The Allan Martini Named Grant is awarded annually to a deserving student through the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Foundation Grants-in-Aid Program, and is endowed by the AAPG Foundation with a generous contribution from Allan & Eleanor Martini.

Check out my first post on the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Blog! It's about Jack overcoming CDH and how we are becoming a "normal" family. Enjoy!
Check out my first post on the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Blog! It's about Jack overcoming CDH and how we are becoming a "normal" family. Enjoy!
Many of you may be wondering why there hasn't been any information circulating about the Third Annual CDH Awareness Blood Drive. After all, the Holy Trinity Festival is on August 1-3, 2014. Well, unfortunately Hoxworth Blood Centers has changed their criteria for blood drives scheduled on the weekends and the CDH Awareness Blood Drive no longer meets their criteria for units collected. I do want to add that though I am saddened with their decisions, I will continue to donate blood and encourage you all who are willing and capable to do the same. What this means, however is that Matt, Jack and I will be at the Holy Trinity Festival for pure recreation. We wouldn't miss it and are looking forward to seeing your smiling faces there.
I apologize for the late notice, I was trying to negotiate with my donor coordinator to no avail. Team Jack will take a break this summer to regroup and find other ways to raise awareness for this deadly defect while helping to give back to our community in medical need.
I am thinking a re-do of sorts on Matt and Kaytee's wedding. Complete with a reggae band and cook out… or another beer Olympics; all to raise money for the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
Thoughts, Suggestions, Volunteers?
Thank you to all of you who took a chance on the weather and came out to join us at the 2nd Annual CDH Awareness Blood Drive and Holy Trinity Festival. I am still amazed that it didn't rain all day!
We ended up having about the same number of people registered as last year….but the deferrals. Sheesh. But it's all in an effort to keep the donors healthy and help the recipients get healthy. So, without further ado, the results.
We collected a total of 17 units of blood. That is with 7 deferrals! Congratulations to all who came out to donate and encourage! 17 units of blood and blood products can save the lives of as many as 51 people (unless you are like Jack and used all that in one week). You all have given a priceless gift of life. Your donations can only come from you and can not be manufactured. Also, thank you to the Hoxworth team for coming out to collect or donations and entertaining us on the bus. This drive was #4 for me with Hoxworth and I have yet to find an unpleasant staff member.
And thank you for continuing to show your support at the Holy Trinity Festival. All that dry weather, good music and great friends made the draft beer taste even better (though I partook in bottles). And congratulations to Ben for his big festival winnings. Matt and I are still amazed. We both remember an entire childhood of Bars and Bells and as big as a $5 win.
Now to look forward to next year. I am working on my plan for advertising the 3rd Annual CDH Awareness Blood Drive complete with radio and community advertisement. If you have any suggestions on how to get this event out into the public eye, please share. My goal is to double the collection next year. Yes, a lofty goal; but you can reach it if it's not there.
I am so excited about the response that I have gotten for the CDH Awareness Hoxworth Blood Drive on August 3, 2013! We are approaching the same number of donors as last year which signed up prior to the event. And please remember that walk-up donations are equally as valuable.
For more information about eligibility or to find parental consent forms, please visit http://www.hoxworth.org/donate_blood/eligibility.html
Thank you to all that have signed up so far. You are helping your community with a priceless gift.
Holy Trinity and Team Jack are teaming up once again to host a blood drive to raise awareness for CDH. The drive will be held in a donor bus located in the parking lot of the Holy Trinity Church Holy Spirit Center parking lot beginning at noon on August 3, 2013. Appointments are taken every 15 minutes but walk-ins are also welcome. Double red cell donation is also an option. Please inform me if this is something you are interested in scheduling or want more information.
After your donation, stick around for some fun, music and corn-on-the-cob at the Holy Trinity Festival. All donors will receive a $4.00 credit towards kids games at the festival which officially starts at 5pm. Saturday's band is The Remains with Final Order on Friday and Slow Burn Band on Sunday. Be sure to check them out.
If you aren't the blood donation type or aren't eligible, don't worry. It's not for everyone. But come on over and raise awareness with a good time.
The Quick and Dirty:
See you there!
It's been over a week and I have already lost one version of this post due to not saving…so I will try again and make sure this one is posted.
We were given a great day for a walk to benefit the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and all it's patients and families. Team Jack met by the 'T' banner, coffee in hand. The weather was great considering there was rain in the forecast but not in the sky. With the temperature hovering a little over 60ºF, we bundled up, got our race bibs and t-shirts and starting on our walk.
It was very nice to be the normal family amongst a sea of people who were also pulling off the walking trail to administer medications, fill feeding pumps and reorganize piles of equipment under the stroller.
We only encountered one incident where we had to change Jack's clothes due to a leaking mic-key button but used that chance to change his diaper and then we were on our way. We finished the walk way behind the pack and joined in on the line for pizza….of course until Matt mentioned chicken wings. Then on to Logo's we went for some chicken wings, beer and commaraderie.
I definitely want to give a special Thank You!! to all who walked and/or made donations. Team Jack and all our donors were able to donate over $1750.00 to CDH research efforts at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the donations are still rolling in (the last donations will be accepted until October 31).

In an article published online by the New Zealand Herald on 4 July 2017, entitled "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted: The Untold Story of Teen Suicide in the North," I read of the harrowing, silent crises that ordinary New Zealanders face every day.
Please take the time to read the article in the link below (PLEASE NOTE: Trigger warning for some graphic content).
What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted | New Zealand Herald
I have had too many precious friends, family members and acquaintances who have faced similar situations. This has affected myself, my church and my community so deeply that we never have never talked about it because the truth is too terrible.
People often ask me why I left my small, beautiful hometown of Nelson to pursue tertiary study in Christchurch. I hear voices all around me telling me that my degree will be worth nothing in the end, that I will only succeed if I have a specific, well-paid job title in mind, and that I won't be able to change the world around me.
When I tell others that I plan to change my Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communication to a double major with Political Science, people get nervous.
"Oh dear, don't get too Political!" "Can't you do something, you know, a bit less…political?" "Can you tell Council that I want my rates lowered?" "You could be a politician and makes loads of money!"
But…if I had it my own way, then I would have gone to drama school. Or film school. Or art school, at a small polytechnic where it was safe for me to hide. But this isn't about me. This is about people. I don't want to be a politician and I don't want to make loads of money for myself. This is about taking responsibility and stewardship, and to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
I think of those who have gone before, such as the likes of William Wilberforce, who dedicated his life to abolishing the slave trade within the British Empire. During Wilberforce's time, to suggest that the African slaves – who had been taken from their homeland and treated and sold as objects – were people and subject to equal rights, was controversial and heavily frowned upon. Regardless of the expectations and opinions from his political counterparts, Wilberforce remained steadfast and succeeded. In 1833, three days before his death, the second reading of the Emancipation Act was passed by Parliament, and a month later, the abolition of the slave trade was put into effect.
"From every consideration I shall deal frankly with the House, by declaring, that no act of policy whatever will make me swerve from my duty and oblige me to abandon a measure which I think will be an honour to humanity…Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way but you can never again say that you did not know." – William Wilberforce, speaking to the British House of Commons on 12 May 1789.
So what has William Wilberforce got anything to do with the current suicide rates amongst young people in New Zealand? From my perspective, everything.
Why did the Government cut mental health funding in Canterbury, only 5 years after the Christchurch earthquakes of February 2011? Why is there such little emphasis on suicide prevention and little to almost no advocacy from bureaucrats and those within Governance? Why do we tend to treat those with mental health issues as outcasts? Why have we turned a blind eye to the suicide epidemic, and act with complete shock and utter surprise when we're given the annual statistics from the Ministry of Health? Why do we rarely talk about it, when the most important thing IS to talk about it?
Everyone else is running around pointing fingers at millennials and their avocado toast, telling them that they will never be able to afford their own homes. Everyone else is running around telling you that your degree is worthless and won't get you a decent job. Everyone else is running around, completely oblivious to the fact that the statistics of teenage suicide in this country is still rising.
But what can you do? You can talk about it. You can start the discussion. You can break the silence. Be like William Wilberforce and take action for those who have no other hope.
He aha te mea nui? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
What is the most important thing? It is people, it is people, it is people.

Churches Together around Tadley invited all four known candidates for North West Hampshire to a Question Time held at Tadley Community Centre.
"The Rev Sammie Armstrong, David Smith and the small team did well to get this show on the road in a very short space of time. It gave voters in Tadley an opportunity to do some political window-shopping."
The questions ranged from the personal values of the candidates, through pensions, overseas aid, the UK's relationship with the EU and USA, the health service and climate change.
The candidates were Peter Sumner (UKIP), Martin Tod (LibDem) Michael Mumford (Lab) and Sir George Young (Con)

Much of the more than $666,000 raised for East Baton Rouge Parish School Board elections this year is being spent on three races that voters will settle Saturday.
Spending is on track to surpass the last School Board election in 2010. Just like then, this election pits candidates backed by business leaders seeking to change public education against candidates, most of them incumbents, opposing that effort.
The latest campaign finance reports, turned in by Nov. 26, cover fundraising and spending through Nov. 16. This latest report is the last one required before Saturday's election. Some candidates have continued to file special reports, required when candidates receive large donations, in the case of the School Board, of $1,000 or more, or spend $200 or more.
Six incumbents have already cruised to re-election, producing a 3-3 split between board members supported and board members opposed by local business interests.
Districts 1, 5 and 8, which all had multiple candidates qualify, were unable to produce a winner Nov. 4. Business leaders are likely to get at least a 5-4 split based on the candidates still left on the ballot. That majority could grow to a supermajority of 6-3, depending upon the outcome in District 5.
Baton Rouge businessman Lane Grigsby continues to lead in contributions, with $359,700, or about 54 percent, of all giving this election. That's personal giving by Grigbsy as well as checks written by his family members, top executives at his company, Cajun Industries, as well as money contributed by those employed at the education political action committee he founded earlier this year, Better Schools for Better Futures.
In addition to contributions to candidates, Better Schools has spent more than $166,000 so far to promote the candidates it has endorsed, particularly the three who are on Saturday's ballot: Mark Bellue, District 1; Evelyn Ware-Jackson, District 5; and Chris Bailey, District 8.
The next-biggest donor is billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who has reported giving $102,500 so far, almost all of that to another new PAC called Improve Our Schools. It has reported $12,135 in direct spending on the elections.
The Baton Rouge Area Chamber's political arm, FuturePAC, is next in overall spending, contributing $47,500 to a total of eight candidates so far. FuturePAC also is spending directly on the elections, though it has yet to break out how much.
The pro-charter school, pro-Common Core parent group Stand for Children is next, contributing $12,500 to five candidates. Like FuturePAC, Stand for Children is paying for its own political advertising but has yet to detail that spending.
These groups and their supporters account for at least 80 percent of campaign contributions so far this election.
The three candidates in Saturday's election who are backed by business leaders have raised more than $154,000, according to the most recent reports. That's almost double all their opponents combined.
The biggest gap is in the District 5 race, where Evelyn Ware-Jackson is seeking a second term against Jerry Arbour, who is seeking a third term. Ware-Jackson has raised more than $70,000 and she still had nearly $48,000 left over at last count. Arbour, by contrast, has raised less than $11,000 and had nearly $7,000 left in his bank account.
The race with the most spending is District 8, where the candidates have spent $59,000, about $20,000 more than the reported spending on the District 5 race. Bailey still had more than $18,000 left to spend, compared with $1,000 that incumbent Connie Bernard reported.
In the District 1 race, Bellue has at least $6,300 for the final campaign push. His opponent, Jennifer Andrews, reported having only $2 left.
While heavily outspent, the opponents of these business leaders have had a few big donors, with teacher unions leading the way.
The Louisiana Federation of Teachers' political action committee gave a total of $8,000 to seven School Board candidates. The only business-backed candidate it contributed to was District 7 incumbent Barbara Freiberg, who received $500 and is also supported by FuturePAC and Grigsby.
The PAC of its rival union, the Louisiana Association of Educators, has reported giving a total of $3,750 to four candidates.
Baton Rouge businessman Carranza "C.J." Guidry gave $7,000 to five candidates opposed by business interests. Rover Janitorial Services, where Guidry is an officer, gave District 5 challenger Patty Merrick, who came in fourth on Nov. 4, a total of $4,200 in cash and in-kind contributions. Guidry in 2011 came within a vote of winning a marketing contract with the school system.

Colorado Changes EV Program to Offer Better, Point-of-Sale Incentives
For EV buyers, Colorado is now a very exciting place to be. This is thanks to a bill that was just passed by the state legislature called House Bill 1332, which replaces the old EV incentive system of a complicated formula based on battery size and total MSRP to a flat sales incentive of $5,000 across the board for light duty electric vehicles.
However, the simplification of the state's incentive program isn't really the main draw—it is the fact that this new incentive can be applied to a car dealer or finance company, turning it into a point-of-sale incentive. This allows dealerships selling EVs to apply the $5,000 incentive directly to the car's sticker price, lowering the car's price in the first place (as opposed to the federal tax incentive, which requires that you pay for the vehicle before you get tax credit applied to you).
Better Brush Up on EV Knowledge: Here is some specifics on the Chevy Bolt's powertrain
So now, if you were, say, in Colorado and buying one of Chevy's new 2017 Bolt EVs (good choice!), your price would immediately be $32,500, after which you would receive the federal incentive, driving the price down to somewhere around $25,000. So, for about the price of a new Camry, you could have a brand new, long-range electric vehicle.
If you live in Colorado, that is. Man, it is rough to be based in Dayton, sometimes.
Of course, this isn't all butterflies and rainbows–this bill actually lowers the incentives for higher-priced EVs such as the Tesla Model S and BMW i3. However, when it comes to making EVs more affordable for the everyday person, this deal is right on the money.

Centre News
James Graham Brown Foundation gives $500,000 for experiential learning at Centre
September 12, 2013 By Mariel Smith
huge transformation involved in 'doing' that discipline," says
Dean and Vice President for Academic Affairs Stephanie
Fabritius. "The practices involved in this grant will give more
students an opportunity to engage in this way with their education."
The Spanish program already utilizes community-based
learning, especially through its after school tutoring program,
which gives students an opportunity to practice their Spanish
while providing much-needed help to local children.
Internships, undergraduate research and community-based learning have long been a part of a Centre education, but now, thanks to $500,000 from the James Graham Brown Foundation, Centre can greatly expand and improve its unique brand of experiential education.
"These kinds of high-impact practices are the heart of the Centre experience," says Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College Stephanie Fabritius. "We need to think more intentionally about how these practices fit into our curriculum, how we can help faculty participate in them and how we can help more students engage in them."
Fabritius is particularly excited about the balanced way in which Centre's opportunities are being expanded.
"This grant will enable us to do for academic internships and community-based learning what the Mellon Grant will enable us to do for undergraduate research," she explains. "They complement each other so well."
Indeed, the grant will promote coordination between Career Services, VISTA, the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Undergraduate Research Committee and Student Life, not to mention numerous other campus organizations and people. It will also be instrumental in strengthening the Centre Commitment, which guarantees every student graduation in four years, a study abroad experience and a research or internship opportunity.
The funding will be especially important for enlarging opportunities for community-based learning, which Fabritius explains is a symbiotic relationship between faculty, students and the community.
"Community-based learning is wonderful because it turns the community into a classroom," she says. "Faculty can strengthen theories they use in the classroom by having students engage in practical activities in the community. The class ends up filling a community need while giving students a hands-on, real-world learning experience."
The Spanish program already utilizes community-based learning, especially through its after school tutoring program, which gives students an opportunity to practice their Spanish while providing much-needed help to local children. Other classes that have utilized community-based learning include abnormal psychology, sociology, philosophy and first year studies courses.
The funding is especially useful because of the built-in incentives that encourage both students and faculty to engage in experiential learning.
"Embedded in this grant is additional funding for both academic internships and incentives for faculty members to serve as mentors of these internships," says Fabritius. "There is also funding for mini-grants that faculty can use to develop one of their classes into a community-based learning class."
As part of the grant, a Coordinator of Engaged and Experiential Learning will be hired to assess and track academic internships, undergraduate research and community-based learning. The coordinator will be housed in the Center for Teaching and Learning and will facilitate discussions among faculty on how best to implement more high-impact practices. The Coordinator will also work to promote these practices to faculty and students and discuss the pedagogies involved in these practices to students.
Most importantly for Fabritius, the additional funding represents a significant educational opportunity for students.
"The kinds of thing we do extraordinarily well at Centre is provide students with opportunities to 'do the discipline,'" she notes. "You can read all day about a certain discipline, but there is a huge transformation involved in 'doing' that discipline. The practices involved in this grant will give more students an opportunity to engage in this way with their education. It's what schools like Centre are all about."
The James Graham Brown Foundation is based in Louisville, Ky., and established the Brown Fellows Program at Centre in 2009, making Centre the only private college in Kentucky to host such a prestigious scholarship program. To learn more about the Brown Fellows Program at Centre, click here.
Centre College, founded in 1819, offers its students a world of opportunities, highlighted by the nation's premier study abroad program and a faculty ranked #5 in the nation for "Best Undergraduate Teaching" at a liberal arts college by U.S. News & World Report in 2013. Centre graduates enjoy extraordinary success, with entrance to top graduate and professional schools, prestigious fellowships for further study abroad (Rhodes, Rotary, Fulbright), and rewarding jobs (on average, 97 percent are employed or in advanced study within 10 months of graduation).

You may have considered yourself to be an introvert because introverts are generally shy. However, shyness goes way beyond introversion, in fact, some introverts can be very social and socially engaging. Introverts, however, tend to find dealing with large groups of people mentally draining. Many introverts prefer the company of a small group of people but they are not necessarily shy.

Science is a knowledge and understanding through key questioning and investigative skills. Science is also methodology, a practical way of finding reliable answers to questions we may ask about the world around us.
A high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. Children are encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes.
At Halfpenny Lane we allow children to investigate through curiosity, allowing them to ask questions and develop skills they need to answer questions. Science is widely promoted and as a school we are developing the love of science by making sure it is taught a minimum of once a week. Through the national curriculum, lessons are engaging, challenging and purposeful. We support children's learning through developing and extending the children's scientific concept of their world and encouraging them to ask deeper questions about the world around them. Children are exposed to scientific language, using ICT to extend learning and make strong links to other curriculum areas. This enables children to become effective communicators of ideas, facts and data whilst becoming experts at analysing data they collect. Finally, children are exposed to the following skills of investigation – observation, measuring, predicting, hypothesising, experimenting, communicating and interpreting.
'Working and thinking scientifically' is described separately at the beginning of the programme of study, but is encouraged to be taught through and clearly related to substantive science content in the programme of study.
Key Stage 1
In KS1, children are focusing on the natural and humanly constructed world around them. They are encouraged to be curious through asking questions about what they can see and are exposed to different types of scientific enquiries to enable this. Some of the scientific enquiries include: observing changes over time, noticing patterns, grouping and classifying, carrying out simple comparative tests and finding out using questioning. As a result of questioning, children should be using simple scientific language and have discussions with their peers about what they have found out. In KS1, most of the learning about science is done through practical activities with some written work.
Lower Key Stage 2
In LKS2, children are focusing on the view of the world around them through exploring, discussions, testing and developing ideas about everyday things and relationships between them. They have the opportunity to ask their peers questions to promote discussions about what they are observing and make decisions about which type of scientific enquiry is the most appropriate. Some of the scientific enquiries include: observing changes over time, noticing patterns, grouping and classifying things, carrying out simple comparative and fair tests and finding things out using secondary sources of information. They should draw simple conclusions and use some scientific language, first, to talk about and, later, to write about what they have found out.
Upper Key Stage 2
In UKS2, children are deepening their understanding of a wide range of scientific ideas. They do this through exploring and talking about their ideas; asking their own questions about scientific phenomena; and analysing functions, relationships and interactions more systematically. They are exposed to more abstract ideas so they can begin to recognise how these ideas help them to understand and predict how the world operates. They should select the most appropriate ways to answer science questions using different types of scientific enquiry, including: observing changes over different periods of time, noticing patterns, grouping and classifying things, carrying out comparative and fair tests and finding things out using a wide range of secondary sources of information. Children will draw conclusions based on their data and observations, use evidence to justify their ideas, and use their scientific knowledge and understanding to explain their findings.

Opening Presentation: Project Value at Risk: A New Way to Connect Risks to Business Outcome
Presented by: Nicki Kons
Abstract: PVaR (Project Value at Risk) is a new indicator for connecting risks to some of the most important questions in project management: when will the project be completed and at what cost? It is based on the widely accepted VaR (Value at Risk) financial indicator. There are two mini revolutions currently taking place in risk management: the cognitive and big data revolution, and PVaR is connected to both. The multitude of KRI (Key Risk Indicators) has made it difficult for project managers to communicate risk in a concise, clear way that decision makers can easily understand and use. This short session will introduce PVaR (Project Value at Risk) and the importance of connecting risks to business outcomes.
Nicki Kons is a risk management researcher, consultant, lecturer and author of: PVaR™ - Project Value at Risk. She is an Industrial Engineer B.Sc. and an IT analyst, with an MBA in finance and an MA in international relations. Nicki is a multi-disciplinary expert who incorporates engineering, IT, business, finance and political science concepts into a strong coherent message of risk management excellence. Nicki believes the only way to keep on top of risks is by pushing our own limits of risk understanding time and time again.

Starting a small business
If you have thought about starting your own business and would like to plan this to coincide with your redundancy there is a wealth of information and assistance available from the federal, state and local governments. If you have a business idea you would like to explore you can start to read through the information available to decide what would benefit you and your personal situation.
Information and assistance from the federal government
Information and assistance from the state government
Information and assistance from local council
Most local councils will have a staff member or team dedicated to economic development in your area. They will be able to assist you with access to local information and assistance. Check the website of your local council for further information. Below are links to the business pages of two local council websites.
New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS program)
One of the small business assistance programs available to people on the Newstart/ Disability Allowance (and connected with a Job Services Australia or Disability Employment Service provider) is the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme, or NEIS program.
NEIS assists eligible job-seekers who have a business idea to create a business plan and offers financial assistance equivalent to the Newstart Allowance, as well as small business mentoring, to small business owners for up to 52 weeks after starting the business.
As part of the NEIS program, the business owner attends a registered training organisation (RTO) to undertake a nationally recognised certificate in small business operation so that they are set up to succeed.
Commonly, you will be eligible to become a part of the NEIS program once you are receiving the Newstart/ Disability Allowance. You can ask Centrelink, or your employment service provider to refer you to the NEIS program.
For further information you can also contact your local provider of the NEIS program by visiting the government's Job Search website.

Blog/Website Launch: Celebrating with Elate Cosmetics and Gems Hair and Makeup
Welcome to my new lifestyle blog!
I am officially launched!!! eeeeeek! Thank you so much to everyone who continue to support Allyfotografy!!! As a celebration with my new blog I wanted to as always, do a kick ass giveaway! I have teamed up with Elate Cosmetics and Gems Hair and Makeup to give you all the "Beauty Clean" big giveaway!!!
For those of you who already know its no new news that I have been in search of new products for my face. My partner in crime Gemma from Gems Hair and Makeup has been telling me about Elate Cosmetics for a while and after every makeup session my face always feels light and airy, not caked on and thick.
Well, most recently my face has broken out so I decided that it was time for me to make the switch to better products and why not with Elate since their products are cruelty and chemical free, vegan and organic. I figured since I was trying to eat healthier and change to better food why not change not only my insides but what I'm using on the outside!
Of course I went straight to Gems Hair and Makeup and booked my "Clean Beauty Makeover" Gems has made the switch to pure and clean products and offers these makeovers to their clients.
Gemma ( founder and lead of GEMS) came to my studio and layed out all of the Elate products. As you can already see the packaging is amazing!!! So much love and detail has gone in to the products right down to the packaging.
First we picked the right foundation for my skin. If you are like me, I love coverage. My skin is really pigmentated so having the fuller coverage evens out my skin. I picked the full tint foundation. I love the feeling when painting it on. Infused with coconut and argan oil it will leave your skin feeling hydrated and breathable. Pretty much I call it my naked foundation.
Then we picked put 2 of the best products they carry! The universal cream! These creams can be used as blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, lipstick... the list goes on! Talk about a multitasker for your skin! Universal cream in Wonder gives the best highlight on your cheekbones and Love has just the right amount of pink to create nice blush cheeks!
Gemma then added the liquid liner and mascara to my eyes. The problem I have is that my liner and mascara usually burn when I try to wipe it off at the end of the day. Elate liner and mascara comes off so easily and doesn't stain any of my towels. The formula is pure and natural so it feels great when you are wearing it!
Finally we picked a lipstick. I love red and bold lipsticks so naturally I gravitated towards the red!
Thank you GEMS for the Beauty Clean Makeover and for helping me make the switch to clean beauty products!
As my official launch to my new website I am giving away with Elate Cosmetics 3 cosmetics of my readers choice! GEMS is also giving away a Mini Beauty Clean Makeover! This Package is well worth over $100

Gemma recently introduced me to Elate just last week after I spent months struggling with skin problems! I cannot get over how incredible the products are! As always, Gemma's my makeup guru ;)
Hi there Ally! Your blog is a delight to read! I am a recent import to Vancouver and I used to be a celebrity manager back in Bollywood back in Mumbai. I have worked with the best hair and makeup artistes in India and I am so glad that I stumbled upon Elate a few weeks ago! My plan is to rustle up a batch of their products and pack them to Mumbai for a few of them to use! My gut says they are going to love it :-)

I'm a new mom to a 4month old and I'm always kissing my little girl but because of her sensitive baby skin I'm always worried that my makeup will give her a rash. My girlfriend posted a picture of Elate cosmetics recently and loved the packaging so I looked into them and LOVE that it's all organic and chemical free!! I have yet to get any (my baby is keeping me pretty busy) but I hope to try this product soon!!

I made the switch to all natural products about 1.5 years ago and Elate were my first products. Im still a huge fan of all Melody's products, packaging but mostly her desire for women to be healthy and love themselves. I will never go back to putting chemicals on my skin. Congratulations on making the change and launching your site!

So awesome!!! Thank you for doing a giveaway!

Wow Ally! GEMS artistry looks so fantastic! Who knew that clean cosmetics could look so flawless & fierce? Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway! I think either way I'm going to have to try some Elate products. ;) The lipstick/mascara packaging is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing what other clean beauty picks your blog will introduce me to ^_^
7/28/2016 08:13:50 am
Hey! Lovely page thanks doe the giveaway, truly amazing would love to try l. You can find me starfaceorganics_ ^_^ Thanks
7/28/2016 09:31:29 am
I am on a similar journey of overhauling my makeup bag! I was using some products that had some pretty harmful ingredients without even knowing it. I'm slowly starting to replace my makeup with much healthier and cleaner options. I haven't tried Elate yet but would love to! Your blog is super cute!
7/28/2016 03:47:13 pm
Elate is a new to me brand discovered via a Instagram follow recommendation - I was curious to learn more and have been stumbling around until I found you - I too am having skin issues - and we live in the same area - maybe it's the weather or something in the air?!? - but more likely it's just a combination of dehydration inside and out meets topical pain gel that I'm trying on face for headache that's probably not designed for face thus clogging pores... I'd love to win and try out some fancy safe good for me and the planet options :)
7/28/2016 07:15:16 pm
Congrats! I cannot wait to read more! :)

News @ JSI
Lamstein Family/JSI Scholarship Highlighted in Boston University Publication
January 9, 2017
JSI founder and president Joel Lamstein and the Lamstein Family/JSI Scholarship were recently profiled in the Boston University School of Public Health 40th Anniversary publication.
Founded in 2012, the Lamstein Family/JSI Scholarship supports one or more masters in public health students annually. The scholarship is awarded to candidates based on financial need and academic merit. Lamstein, who also chairs the SPH Dean's Advisory Board, says that JSI and the school "have been long-term partners in education, research, and practice."
As an organization dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities in the U.S. and around the world, JSI has "been fortunate to grow and thrive for over 35 years, and much of our success can be attributed to our ability to attract smart, committed, and compassionate staff," Lamstein says. "We draw that staff from elite schools throughout the country and always have had great success with students from Boston University School of Public Health. I believe it is therefore incumbent on organizations like JSI to give back to the community that has helped foster our success."
"Global health has gained wide popularity among students, and public health will be in good hands as these students join the field," Lamstein continues. "We therefore are pleased to contribute to the SPH to further the aspirations of these future leaders of public health."

Bits & Pieces
Here is what the Guide has to say about parties on Alpha Zeta Alpha Nine:
If you ever get the chance to attend a party on the planet of Alpha Zeta Alpha Nine it is very important to bring along a friend you find to be at least half way attractive. This way when the Aisor Bma, a specialty drink made on the seventh moon of Alpha Zeta Alpha Nine and often noted as being one of the galaxies most potent aphrodisiacs that does not (usually) result in the drinker's death, starts to work its way through your system you'll have someone with whom you wouldn't mind working it back out of your system with easily on hand.
Seeing as the inhabitants of Alpha Zeta Alpha Nine are composed mainly of something similar to freshly squeezed citrus juice and tentacles, it's very difficult to find a bed suitable for any sort of activity the Aisor Bma might put one up to, especially if one is humanoid or prefers said activities lying down. Regardless, one should keep in mind that the best place to get better acquainted is NOT in the captain's quarters of a ship you just broke into, no matter how much closer it is then the nearest hotel, as this will definitely cause some fuss later. Especially if the captain is a nine foot, seven hundred pound Saponian whose wife recently left him for a younger, fatter version of himself.
It might also be helpful to know exactly where one's towel is, particularly if one plans on tying one's partner to the bedpost. The best way to do this is while kissing him, so that any protest he could possibly make will be muffled and you can claim immunity later when asked about your bondage fetish. Before this, however, you might want to remember to take your partner's shirt off of else you are going to end up tearing something later that night.
At this point, if you're doing a decent job you should receive a sort of half breath moan/plea, which is quite possibly the most titillating sound in the known galaxy and means that whatever you just did you should repeat at least three more times. It's also suggested that if your partner is wearing pants, you might want to slip them off in order to elicited similar moans and-
"Ford?" Ford winced as his editor slapped the guide down onto the desk. His head was still spinning for the effects of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster he'd consumed earlier, and the fact that his editor had the strange habit of yelling nearly every time he spoke to Ford wasn't helping.
"What is this?" The editor demanded, taking in a deep breath through his fifty-seven nostrils. That sound alone had been known to bring some of the newer guide writer's to their knees. To Ford' credit, he managed to grin around the gagging. "This… This has nothing to so with Alpha Zeta Alpha Nine! And you're next entry!" He paused to bring up Ford's next entry, which in theory was about the seaside on Arcellisi but honestly looked more like a guide to snuggling.
"Interesting story, actually," Ford said, moving slowly towards the door and keeping his bright smile trained on his editor, who was starting to turn an interesting shade of blue. This is the Etunik equivalent to smoke rising from one's ears, if smoke rising from one's ears reseulted in acid puss exploding from their pores and melting through anything softer than titanium. "You see-"Ford slammed the office door behind him and made a quick run for the elevators, which was humming a cheerful tune as it patiently waiting for Ford to arrive.
Ford sighed, wondering what the hell had possessed him to go see his editor, anyway, as the doors to the elevator slide closed and the machine itself made an upbeat commented about the horrible yelling coming from down the hall. Of course, the trip to Guide headquarters hadn't been so much Ford's idea as it had been the fault of the galactic police who had intercepted the ship he'd been stowing away on. The court orders to bring him to the guide office hadn't helped much, either. Stupid police, he mused, rubbing the nice bruise he'd gotten on his lower lip. You think the company lawyers would at least have the decency to include a clause in the warrant about Ford being returned unharmed.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-"No," Arthur said, rubbing his forehead as he let out a deep sigh. He was starting to get these strange, throbbing pains in his temple whenever Ford wasn't around and he was forced to try and communicate with strange creatures whom had absolutely no idea what he was getting at. He also got them when Ford was around and in the mood to go do something particular dangerous or stupid. The result being that he had developed somewhat of a permanent headache. "No. I was asking about tea. You do know what tea is, right?"
The giant blue bug gave Arthur a look it hoped summed up all its frustration and general disgust she felt for the raggedy looking man in front of her. "I said," She repeated for the umpth time that day, "If you wish to talk to-"
"Arthur!" The alien growled low in the back of its throat when a similarly dirty looking man tossed his arm around the annoying hitchhiker who kept asking about 'tea'. "I was wondering where you were!" The man said, nuzzling his face into the crook of the other man's neck. "I just remembered. There is this great party over on-"
Arthur shook his head. "Not another party," He whined and Ford had to stop himself from kissing Arthur in the middle of the guide lobby just to shut him up, because last time he had tried something like that Arthur had refused to speak with him except to complain. Not that it made too much of a difference, but it had still been rather annoying. "Those things are terrible. Last time I was nearly mistaken for an appetizer!"
"Easy mistake, really. Anyone could make it." Ford's eyes adopted a dangerous glint. "Besides, if I remember correctly," He cooed in a dangerously inviting voice, his right hand sliding down Arthur's side to play with the tear in his shirt. "You seemed to enjoy the last one."
Arthur tried to act offended over this, realized he was blushing too hard to achieve that, decided slighting Ford would be a better moved, and failed miserable at that when the ginger haired man flashed him a smile that made Arthur both want to smile and back away quickly in order to save his neck.
In the end he just sort of stood with the usual frown on his face that was all very Arthur-ish and only made Ford smile go up a few notch, thus causing the giant bug behind the desk to demand their immediate removal from the building.
A few minutes later, Ford was lying on top of Arthur.
"Hey, I'll have you know I work there!" Ford shouted as Guide security returned to the building, having disposed of the two men on the sidewalk.
"Friendly bunch, aren't they," Arthur commented, picking himself up. The people walking by didn't seem to notice the fact that the two men had just been forcefully thrown out of a building. Apparently, that sort of thing was common at the Guide headquarters.
"Bloody security," Ford muttered to himself, glaring at the front entrance of the building as if he half expected the two robots to return and apologize. Arthur gave the other man a good thirty seconds staring before he started to complain.
"Err… Ford?"
Ford turned around, looked at Arthur, and smiled. Arthur flinched and tried to remember that Ford was not going to attack him… Again… Probably.
"Well, no use sticking around here," Ford reasoned, tucking his hands into his pockets and heading off in a seemingly random direction, leaving Arthur to follow at will.
Arthur sighed and started to wonder if life would have been any simpler if he'd just blown up on Earth. He decided that it would, in fact, have been much easier as there was very little chance of him dealing with robots, space ships, and crazy mice in the after life.
Ford stopped, turned around, and smiled one of the few, gentle looking smiles he could manage. "You coming?"
Much like a very lost puppy Arthur nodded and hurried to catch up. "No more parties." Arthur said as the ginger haired man wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "I'm sick of ending up drunk and in the undergarments of triple breasted aliens."
"That only happened once," Ford reminded him. "And I thought it was quite cute."
"That's because you weren't the one up on stage doing a fairly bad version of 'It's Raining Men'."
"Well, I do think the King was rather fond of it, and I must admit I was impressed by your vocal range."
"Yes, Arthur."
"We're going to another one of those damn parties, aren't we?"
Ford smiled. "I want you to think of it as field research."
Arthur raised his eyebrow but said nothing. At least, he managed to remain silent for a few seconds, which is a reasonable accomplishment for an earthling considering that if they don't speak their brains start working – something that is known to be extremely dangerous to the species. "How did you last entries go?" He asked.
For a moment Arthur could have sworn he saw Ford blushed, but decided that it must have been a trick of one of the two suns setting in the distances. "You must stop me from writing those when drunk," Ford commented.
Arthur thought this over for a second. "You're always drunk."
"Yes, well…" Ford stopped quite suddenly in the middle of the sidewalk and turned to Arthur, who would have asked him what was the matter if he hadn't been cut off by a pair of lips. A nice, soft pair of lips crushing his own as a nice, familiar pair of arms wrapped around his waist and brought him up against a nice, warm body. Arthur forgot all of whatever it was they had just been talking about as his mind opted to spend more energy towards concentrating on the kiss and less towards worrying, which it would have plenty of time to catch up on later.
By the time Ford pulled away Arthur was feeling rather dizzy.
"Now, we have to hurry," Ford declared, taking Arthur's hand and pulling him along behind him.
Arthur's mind was very displeased. It had just spent half a minute in a hazy bliss and was now being forced to deal with the fact that (a) Ford wasn't kissing him anymore (b) Ford was dragging him somewhere he probably didn't want to go and (c) Ford still wasn't kissing him anymore. Mainly, his mind was wrapped up in Ford, and not in the good "Please, yes, there, ohh… more… AH! YES!" way, either.
"Ford-" Arthur began and, as was usual in these sort of situations, was promptly cut off before he could finish.
"The police around here are rather lazy, but in an hour or so everyone will be getting back from lunch and it will be hard to jump a ship with people boarding."
"I don't think we should-"
"Besides, Amacenry will be having starting their week long festival of the fertility in a few days. Wouldn't want to miss that."
Arthur sighed and resigned himself to being dragged along on whatever adventure the universe had planned out for him now. Because no matter how much he complained about the general lack of tea, England, and digital watches, it did have Ford in it. And he was rather fond of that bit.
Author's Note: Yeah, that's it. If you got this far, you should at least grant me the privilege of a review, even if just to tell me about how your eyes are bleeding and I have destroyed all your faith in humanity. Actually, that would be rather cool as far as reviews go. Imagine, me alone managing to totally annihilate someone's faith in the entire human race. Now that's power.
(PS: If you really, really liked this story read the slight more 'mature' companion 'The Latent Effects of Ais Ormba.")

The cure to Yahoo!'s
"I can guarantee you there will be some acquisitions," CTO Ari Balogh told those attending the Reuters Global Technology Summit yesterday, addressing concerns that Yahoo! needs a little more Web 2.0 goodness.
In-house social networking solutions have failed Yahoo! in the past. Yahoo! Mash didn't even last a year. The appropriately named Yahoo! 360 has been a round trip to nowhere.
Two years ago, Yahoo! turned heads when it called its Yahoo! Mail platform a "dormant social network." At the time, it boasted 250 million accounts -- a big number, especially since Facebook didn't land its 200 millionth active user until last month.
Alas, that free-mail social network is still snoring louder than Rip Van Winkle.
With billions in the bank, Yahoo! can dream big, though it's unlikely to blow all that cash on Facebook. It may try to get more bang for its buck by snapping up smaller sites like LinkedIn or Time Warner's
Social networking has been a tough ticket to monetize. Even the mighty Google
Yahoo! will never catch up to Google in paid search, but it doesn't have to. It can just pick off online marketers like ValueClick
Yahoo! isn't dumb enough to telegraph its actual targets, but telling reporters that it will go shopping is a huge admission. It sounds the dinner bell for investors willing to commit to the due diligence required to smoke out Yahoo!'s likely buy candidates.
Yahoo! knows it can't succeed alone. Now it's time to see which companies the search giant's willing to buy at a respectable premium.
Yahoo! keeps tapping the snooze bar:
